Required Youth Safety Program Online Training

This link will take you the Youth Safety site. Sterling Volunteers has partnered with the Archdiocese of America for the Youth Safety Program. You will need to complete the online training modules annually, and a background check every other year. If you do not complete all modules and the background check prior to the week(s) you will be working at camp, your staff acceptance will be withdrawn and you will be unable to come to MDSC.

You are expected to arrive at camp by 3:00 pm on the day before (Saturday) of your first week on staff. You will be attending a full staff orientation on that Saturday evening to go over staff expectations and much of the material/topics found above.
